Something not right here...they take years to get him right he plays a couple of games, seems to be going ok.

Then gets dropped for team balance????

Saints bigfooty board blew up and cannot believe he has been delisted.

Surely they’ll rookie him. 

That has to be the answer. 

The Saints fostered him for such a long time and, when they finally gave him his chance, he performed reasonably in his two games. It seems heartless on their part to then turn around and single him out as the first player from the club to be delisted ... unless he’s been given some assurance that he will be rookied later on down the track.

Walked out of Collingwood to go to the Saints because they had a better medical team, how'd that work out Nate?

 

 


Reckon he will take two or three years of development to get him up to scratch.

Would rather we develop our own and draft kids like Lockhart.

 

nah pass. he has elite talent but i think has lost his elite speed. could have beenan A grade. poor kid.  i'd rather get a rookie ruckman in case gawn goes down.


I Remember at the time i was angry we picked Salem instead of Freeman.. how wrong was i!

In saying that i do not want him at the club.. has actually lost that burst speed due to his hammy injuries and just simply cannot trust a bloke with that kind of history. 

definitely should be on the radar delisted FA period costs nothing and base wage, showed he can play with 19 touches on debut let him get up to speed with afl by giving him a run and it could be a bargain coming off HB, better ball user than Hunt and Lewis is done after 2019 so a spot opens up

He had good attributes in his draft year, but I haven't seen enough of him this year to know whether he's lost his burst of speed. That was his main strength, so without it he'd be just an average role player at best. If his speed is still there, I'd say he's worth a roomie spot. If not, then pass.

I'd prefer to bring back Glenn Lovett. Safer hamstrings.


Worth a rookie slot. We are in a position to take a punt. Lively type. Injury prone, but definite talent. We could do worse than to rookie Freeman.

And we already have Mckenna.

Gee.. we were into him big time.. he could have been Toumpas 2.0.. 

No.  Patrick Swayze 2.0swayze.jpg.ab258b441dc9bf1c41131de02722a531.jpg

He'll get a gig somewhere.

 

Just not with us.

No way,every team picks up a spud or two.............................We got Sylvia ,then it was freo's turn. We got Doupas,then it was port's turn.

I'm going to go with what I expect to be an unpopular call here.

I'd entertain him in the case if we are unable to lure any of Gaff, Dahlhaus, Shiel, Wingard, Beams which is looking more likely then unlikely.

Get him on a one year deal as a delisted free agent.  Get him to trim down similar to what Gawn did last off season (he was looking pretty jacked this year at St Kilda). Lets see if he can become that running outside type that we need.  From all reports, he was on Taylor & co's radar 5 years ago when we got Salem.

Would be a low risk, high reward signing.  Worst case it doesn't work out, we can delist him and try and land Kelly next year!

Post draft Freeman:

Saints will rookie list him I'd imagine

 

There is injury prone, and then there is Freeman. His body just isn't made for AFL football.

Far better to give a bloke like Freeman a chance on a one year deal than waste another year on Johnstone / McKenna / King / etc who clearly will never make it.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
